On the way to Xiazhou City, Han Qing had seen with his own eyes many times that Li Dezhao used salt stamps to clear the road without any obstruction. Therefore, he nodded with a smile and followed the plan to visit the innkeeper.
The innkeeper was originally entrusted by a local noble family to be the go-between for foreign merchants and local merchants. (Note: merchants are local merchants.)
Today, I watched Li Deming kill the chicken to retrieve the eggs, and I was depressed. After hearing Han Qing's complaint, I immediately patted my chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry, you and your wife just arrived today and haven't even left the house. How can you be involved with the assassin? I'm like this
I will introduce you to Commander Yan. As long as you are really here for business, I will definitely allow you to leave safely with your family and companions."
"Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper!" Han Qing was filled with gratitude. He immediately took out a bag of small silver beans from his sleeve and secretly stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.
He used to do inspections in Jinniuzhai, because "pumping water" was relatively reasonable, and he also led his brothers to clean up the beasts within dozens of miles around, and received heartfelt thanks from the merchants in the past. The way the merchants expressed their gratitude was
In addition to giving away various local specialties, a few or a dozen silver beans are also secretly stuffed in.
Although these silver beans are not big in size, each one can be exchanged for a hundred Zuse Tongbao. They can even be used directly to pay bills when making large transactions, so they are most popular among "experts".
But today, he stuffed the silver beans into the shopkeeper's hand, and the shopkeeper immediately smiled brightly and believed that he was a genuine businessman. Otherwise, he would never "understand the rules" so much. By the way, he prioritized his request in his heart.
Three times.
Since ancient times, "corruption" has been a chronic disease of a political power. At the same time, it is also a bridge between officialdom and business. Even the newly emerged party-based separatist regime is no exception.
Han Qing had only half a stick of incense back in his room when the innkeeper came to the door with another clerk who looked like a Central Plains man but was dressed as a party official. The latter claimed to be Zhang Hui, who had joined the army under Yan Shize.
Entrusted by his commander-in-chief, Mr. Han and his wife were invited to go and ask questions.
When Han Qing heard this, he immediately frowned slightly. Before he could think of how to find an excuse to prevent Dou Rong from being spied on by Yan Shize, Ye Qinglian, who had resumed her female attire, walked out of the suite.
, "Sir, let's go, don't let General Yan wait too long. We can prove ourselves earlier and leave safely."
"Yes, yes, that's the truth!" Zhang Hui's eyes immediately began to shine. He stared at Ye Qinglian's body and nodded repeatedly.
'Sure enough, one's own people know their own people best, so Li Dezhao said before, start with the word wealth and sex.' Han Qing sighed secretly in his heart, accepted the order, took Ye Qinglian and gifts, and left with Zhang Hui
.
Zhang Hui also thought that he had lived too long. While leading the way, he kept hinting to Ye Qinglian how important he was in front of the strict commander. In fact, there were many things that Yan Shize couldn't control at all, so he could do it for him.
He calls the shots.
Ye Qinglian was sold into a brothel before she could speak. When she grew up, she was accepted as a disciple by Yu Bolian. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, she learned various skills to deal with men. How could she not understand this pervert?
What are you talking about? Ever since, he quickly switched back to the charming and delicate face that he had not used for a long time, and with a few glances, Zhang Hui was mesmerized.
When the two parties arrived at Yan Shize's room, Zhang Hui was already fully confident that he would get "Ms. Han" on his bed tonight. Therefore, he worked extra hard when introducing the two parties. He wanted to personally sign the guarantee that Mr. Han was
An innocent businessman with no connection with the assassin.
Yan Shize and Zhang Hui were in the same boat. When they saw Ye Qinglian, hooks suddenly appeared in their eyes. It wasn't until Han Qing saluted and greeted her repeatedly that she reluctantly looked away from "Mrs. Han", rubbed her hands, and responded with a smile, "It's a small matter."
, It’s a small thing, I heard from Shopkeeper Jin, you just arrived today, how could you be able to assassinate someone without being familiar with the surrounding situation, and know the timing perfectly? "
"Strict commander's eyes are as bright as a torch!" Hoping to persuade him to cooperate with him in attacking Li Deming's palace, Han Qing endured his displeasure and smiled and handed over his hand.
"You have brought the list of goods. Let me take a look at it. Then you can deliver directly to Zhang Hui at 30% of the market price." Yan Shize was not in the mood at all. He talked to a Zhongyuan merchant, waved his hand, and continued,
"You can leave with the money early tomorrow morning. Madam, you will stay here first. She will come with you. She must be familiar with the situation in the Central Plains. It just so happens that I, the commander, have something that I need to find someone to understand..."
This is no longer taking advantage of the situation, but eating people without spitting out the bones. After hearing this, Han Qing couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. However, he still smiled and took out Li Dezhao's autographed letter to Yan Shize from his arms and regarded it as a bill.
He handed his hands to the other person.
Yan Shize took the "list" smoothly, and while scanning it quickly with his eyes, he continued to say smoothly, "I'm not taking advantage of you. For large transactions, the price will definitely be lower than the market price. If it were anyone else, I might not be able to let you get it so quickly.
I will get rid of the goods and help you prove..."
Suddenly, he closed his mouth and quickly reached for the scimitar at his waist with his right hand. However, his palm froze on the handle of the knife and he did not dare to move any further.
Han Qing pulled out a dagger from nowhere and placed it on his neck first. The cold light in Ye Qinglian's hand flashed, stabbing Zhang Hui who was having an erotic dream, to the core.
"Come on -" A soldier in the house reacted quickly and opened his throat to call for help. Ye Qinglian shot a poison dart and sent him back to his hometown.
"Tell your people to shut up, or I'll kill you first!" Han Qing pressed down the dagger quickly, causing blood drops to appear on Yan Shize's neck in an instant. The latter was in pain and scared, and his face was covered with oil and sweat.
However, he issued the order simply and neatly, "No barking, no barking. Close the door. I'm discussing a business deal with Mr. Han. Whoever dares to alarm outsiders, I'll kill him first!"
Another soldier in the room still hasn't figured out what happened. Hearing Yan Shize's instructions, he was stunned and quickly let go of the hand that had just grasped the handle of the knife, while closing his mouth tightly.
It's not to blame for his slow reaction. Tie Yaozi had just killed five Song troops a year ago. As a result, all party members had a sense of superiority in their hearts when facing the Song people.
As for Yan Shize and his cronies, most of the Song people they saw were traitors like Zhang Hui who betrayed their ancestors. Therefore, they did not doubt that a merchant couple dared to resist the commanding officer's power.
As a result, no one expected that the merchant couple who were supposed to be slaughtered turned out to be two killers. In the blink of an eye, they turned against the guests and captured Yan Shize alive.
"Yan, look what this is?" Ye Qinglian was afraid that Yan Shize was still lucky, so he quickly walked to the table, opened the gift box that Han Qing had brought, and opened the four grenades wrapped in silk.
, it came out.
"Fire, fire and thunder bombs? Heroine, spare your life, I have no eyes, no eyes..." Yan Shize has seen the bodies of the Liao envoys that were mutilated by gunpowder bombs, and has also heard about the scene at that time. At this moment, he saw the legendary general
The iron lump that could explode, and the thought that the assassin was a woman with a very good figure, immediately caused the two buttocks to tremble, and I almost peed my pants on the spot.
"As long as I break the oil lamp and let the sparks splash on the thunderbolt bomb." Ye Qinglian refused to let him go easily. She deliberately pushed the grenade under the lamp and added with a sneer.
"No, please don't. Heroine, if you have something to say, if you have something to say, I will order someone to take you and your wife out of the city. I will cover all your goods, all at the market price, no, at the market price."
Double it!" Yan Shize waved his hands repeatedly, his voice already filled with tears.
He thought he was not afraid of death. However, according to the indoctrination of Dangxiang Safa, those whose bodies are incomplete after death cannot be reborn as normal people in the next life. Therefore, he would rather be stabbed to death than be blown to pieces by a grenade.
"We are not here to sell goods. Please read carefully the letter Li Dezhao gave you!" Ye Qinglian glanced at him disdainfully and reminded with a sneer.
"Look, I've seen it clearly. I've seen it clearly. But, I can't do it! I, I only have two thousand brothers, and they may not all be willing to listen to my words and rebel together. If they start fighting, they will definitely not be able to defeat Helian.
Xing. His men are better equipped than mine, and they are all elite soldiers selected from the iron kite." Yan Shize explained with a bitter look on his face.
"Then kill He Lianxing first!" Ye Qinglian gave the answer without thinking.
"He, he has never gotten along with me. If I invite him over, he will definitely be wary. If I lead the troops to fight directly, I can't beat him. As time goes by, Li Jidai in the palace will come out to attack him from both sides.
!" Yan Shize continued to explain with a sad face. For fear that Han Qing and Ye Qinglian would not be able to distinguish the situation and force themselves to take risks, "You can ask the second young master. I originally followed him. However, the situation is not up to anyone. In addition, even if
If we kill Helianxing, we don't have three to five days to get into the palace. And the latest iron kite can get back in half a day."
What he stated were all facts, but Han Qing overturned all the disadvantages he mentioned in just two sentences. "I brought twelve cart mines, the fire mines you mentioned. Anhua
I led my men to blow up the city, and it only took two hours."
"This, this..." After all, he is also a commander of the Forbidden Army. How could Yan Shize not have heard that the Song Dynasty Zhenrong Army used secret methods to blow up the Anhua City occupied by the Red Lotus Sect in less than half a day?
And Dangxiang had just risen, so the so-called royal palace was just the original residence of Jiedushi. No matter how tall and strong its outer wall was, it could not compare to a state city that had stood for many years!
"My name is Han Qing. I don't know if you have heard of my name. I am the executioner of the Song Dynasty. I am here to investigate the case of the traitor Li Deming who killed his father and usurped the throne. If the Yanchi Department can provide assistance, I will come back after I return.
, I will ask Kou Zhun for help to increase the annual amount of green salt that Xiazhou is allowed to sell to other roads in the Song Dynasty by one to three times! The specific number of times depends on the amount of assistance provided by your ministry. If I go on this trip
Failure, the imperial court can't do anything about the entire Xiazhou for the time being, but it can prevent your department from transporting one or two salts into the Song Dynasty in the future!" Han Qing's words continued to come, his voice was not high, but every sentence struck him.
